Dear Stewart and All: Regarding Stewart's comments on unified sound and obtrusive notes that offend the ear, I have always removed overspun octave strings, sometimes supplied with the lowest strings on 10-course lutes or baroque lutes, and replaced them with gut. The thin overwound strings had too much sustain were too assertive, competing with the fundamental rather than complementing it. Yours, Jim
